Ooh i like this. It reflects our own relationship with animals while not criticizing but instead understanding how scary the reversal is for a sentient species. Decent art and characters so far.
It's not a good example or a 1 to 1 though. Humans are FAR more sentient and advanced in our ability to think, feel, empathize, etc. Not to mention, this analogy only works on the basis of thought that humans are nothing more than animals that are no different than all the other animals in the world, which only a small portion of people in the world actually believe that.

So yes, this would be terrifying for people, mainly because of our sentience and sense of conscious and self. But that's exactly why we're also different than the rest of all the animals, no animal could even reach near the level of sentience and self we have.

Ernest is a good representation of the hypocrisy between what is seen as humane and civilized, and when it is considered animalistic

Shouldn't they be fatter?

The humans in the pen I mean. It's one thing for them to be all filthy but they look hella emaciated.

I understand there are a lot of debates about eating animals and what not, and it's true nothing can survive without killing something else, But it's more of a question that would you kill an intelligent animal, That you actually knew had free will and consciousness. But I guess the point this is trying to make is that well basically like a cheap version of tokyo ghouls message.

It's like reverse reality. With some animals enjoying tormenting humans and others having sympathy for them
